Grim acted as if op was creative and did something new which they didn’t. There are constant post that point to other players if one is willing to do a search based on what op wrote. There are whole threads about certain players who abuse tournaments, fast tb, suspicions of cheating etc. if I say “my tournament experience is being diminished on bga because a player continuously times out of games”. All it takes is a few clicks to see who I am talking about. We need to stay away from witch hunts but certain threads are healthy and need to be discussed. Other posters who care enough to get more info on what op writes will then chime in to give their opinion on if they have a valid case or not.Meeplelowda wrote: ↑23 January 2026, 20:07No, it's not just "as long as you don't say the name," because then you get juvenile situations where people test boundaries trying to figure out ways to uniquely identify someone without saying their name. The policy is about calling a specific player out, not the manner in which you do it. Case in point: someone recently posted suspicions about a player and said how many times they'd played them over the years. There was only one person in their profile who matched if he was telling the truth. My one moderation years ago was for using initials to indicate a player, rather than their full username. I thought that it was ok because the general public wouldn't know who it was, but people who closely followed the Tournaments sub-forum would. I accept that it crossed the line.ChiefPointThief wrote: ↑23 January 2026, 19:21This has always been the case anyway. As long as you don’t say someone else’s name. Where is this line drawn?
The line is drawn at being an adult and self-policing and not playing the game equivalent to "I'm not touching my sister like you told me not to. The stick I'm poking her with is touching her."
The recent griefing thread is an example. They didn’t call out any player but anyone interested in what op said searched their history to see what they were talking about.
. A thread that you are very active in (conceding) calls people childish and pathetic and ppl chiming in after they get conceded on are “indirectly calling out players”.
. You didn’t even address any of my points lol. If you read op last thread having 5 bad reports isnt even what gets you flagged and bga admins said that message is misleading and would be fixed. Op alleged bad reports had to have been from yrs ago and bga failed to ever show op the outcome of their reports for them to know they had any bad reports in the first place. That is more “bogus” to me. I too asked bga multiple times for the status of a report years ago out of principle and never received any (won’t give further details bc then I can be flaggged for “challenging moderation on forums”
